WWE is pushing hard for a dream match between Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns next year at WrestleMania 39. There have been a lot of reports and speculation about the Samoan cousins squaring off against each other at the Show of Shows in Los Angeles.

Although there are no concrete plans for The Rock’s return, the latest episode of NBC TV series Young Rock, which depicts the life of The Great One, dropped a major tease about a possible title match with Reigns in the near future.

In a scene from the episode of the series Young Rock, The Brahma Bull is visiting Prime Minister Angela Honig, who is a massive wrestling fan and has a vast collection of The Rock’s memorabilia in one of the rooms.

The collection includes various championship titles, the classic WWE title, the Undisputed WWE Championship and, surprisingly, the Universal title. As fans know, Dwayne Johnson has never won or competed for the Universal title currently held by Roman Reigns.

As this scene went viral online, fans started speculating about this being a strong hint that Rock vs Reigns is happening at WrestleMania 39.

As The Rock is yet to win this title, its depiction into the scene set approximately 10 years from now, caught the attention of fans.

Fans had no doubts that this was a hint about DJ’s return to WWE.

Some fans also said this was WWE’s clever way of building up the feud.

Young Rock has teased the possibility of a Rock vs Reigns match before in one of its earlier episodes. There have been various reports of DJ wrestling his cousin Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal title at WrestleMania, and this recent Easter egg adds fire to the speculation.

This could be a possible hint about the two battling each other on the grandest stage and The Rock even winning the title.

Dwayne Johnson could hold the WWE Universal title till SummerSlam

Although it may feel far-fetched at the moment, given his busy Hollywood schedule, The Rock could win the Universal title from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.

The Tribal Chief has held the WWE Undisputed Universal Championships for over 800 days and could lose one of the titles in L. A next year.

There is also a possibility of a Cody Rhodes return at Royal Rumble. He may eventually challenge Reigns for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 39.

This could open also open the door for The Rock to go after the Universal title. With WWE looking for fresh impetus after Reigns’ lengthy title reign, the time may be right for a shakeup.

The recent tease on the Young Rock could suggest that not only Dwayne Johnson returns to face the Head of the Table next year, but also win the Universal title from him for a short title reign until at least SummerSlam.
